PML Lawyer

Any person or a loved one who has suffered from progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) as a result of taking certain immunosuppressive drugs should contact a PML lawyer. This degenerative, often lethal disease has been shown to result from certain drugs that suppress the immune system. These medications include:

Transplant medications, to suppress the immune system and prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ including CellCept and Myfortic

PML results from an opportunistic infection, meaning an infection that takes advantage of a weakened immune system. The cause, a virus that lies dormant in the great majority of the healthy population, becomes activated when the immune system is compromised and attacks the brain. The virus is called the JC virus, named for the patient from whom it was isolated, John Cunningham.

The symptoms often begin slowly, then rapidly progress. They appear as the different sections of the brain are stricken. These symptoms include:

Progressive weakness of the arms and legs, often on one side of the body

Difficulty walking

Problems with balance

Difficulty speaking and understanding when spoken to

Clumsiness

Vision problems

Mental decline

Personality changes

Compensation is Available

This progressive debilitating disease follows a treacherous downward course, causing increasingly severe disability in its victims. Anyone suffering from this brutal and devastating illness deserves to be compensated for the pain and suffering of their condition. Compensation is available to those who seek the services of a successful PML lawyer. PML lawyers know the severe trajectory of the disease, understand the suffering of its victims, and aggressively pursue just compensation for their clients through a PML lawsuit.
